Talk about another wonderful dinner in France. Not only was the food amazing. Le Cap Horn hit all points comes to personality and different. You walk down almost feel side alleyway narrow road/street cobblestone instead of concrete. The interior inside feels like walked into cabin up in the mountains rather the coming from streets. All these long wooden beams across the ceiling, it multiple levels so it stand out more, there even dj area on one level, and love the vibe of it all. Menu definitely has little of everything. It Asian fusion based. I ended up starting with ceviche. Refreshing. Nice full pieces of fish. Amazing. Salmon was perfect sear, moist cooked on point, and sauce everything balance that was delicious. Finish crème brûlée was creamy, rich, and perfect. Overall great spot for Asian fusion food if in Chamonix. read more

Had the most wonderful lunch. Fantastic ambience. Restaurant is beautiful the service is impeccable and the food is unforgettable!

We were here two years ago and enjoyed it but our experience this time was not good. When we arrived - party of 4 at the first seating, we were immediately seated in a low-ceiling bar area at a cramped half bench/half uncomfortable captains chairs table with dirty cushions, despite having reserved the table over 3 months in advance and requesting a table in the main dining room. We are American but our last name is German, and we think this was why we were treated so rudely when we arrived and even after it was clear we were not happy with the table. Food was OK and chicken and salmon were undercooked. There are so many better restaurants in beautiful Chamonix. read more

Not sure what happened but staff had a bad attitude. The food was good, but not great enough to compensate for poor service. It's overpriced with an attitude, at least it was for our night. It's a big place though, so maybe we were in a bad section?? I'd skip and go somewhere else if I could do it again. Could be a good spot for romantic couple. read more

Food - 2 Service - 3 Ambiance - 3 View - 5 Acclaimed Michelin star?? Seriously this place served food akin to Applebees but with an captivating view. Perhaps the owners believe the glorious mountain views can offset the subpar food. Salad was ok but the ribeye steak was overly chewy and nearly tasteless. We left early and enjoyed Turkish kabobs for 1/5 of the price. Never again. read more

Great Food. Great Atmosphere. Great Drinks. I have never been to a restaurant where the waiter encourages you to dance on the table. A bit of a tourist trap. read more

Being an Asian fusion restaurant, it is ironic that we (an Asian American couple) had a pretty racist experience from this restaurant. We had dinner here on New Year's Day, the food was pretty decent, and service was ok except for the manager who was blatantly racist. The manager completely ignored our table the entire 2-3 hours we were there. We observed him greeting all the other tables in our section kindly and checking on them throughout the night. When 3 or 4 of the tables left, we observed him run up to the new tables and give them the same friendly service. Meanwhile, the only time he acknowledged us was when we waved him down for the bill and even then, he brought the tab over, made no eye contact, and didn't say a word. When we asked why he didn't visit our table like the rest, he said "he didn't know us" which was a complete lie since we could overhear his conversations introducing himself to the other international tables (Brits, Americans, etc). When we brought up that his service to us was very poor, he responded "I don't f--ing care", and threw our credit card on the table after we paid. His demeanor to us was very condescending and racist, which is completely unacceptable, especially for a high end restaurant like this one. read more

Service was slow and they served the wrong dishes with no apology. The servers were more interested in a large group near us and basically ignored us. The person who appeared to be the manager was rude and unapologetic when we advised that we got the wrong items. read more

Food: five Decoration: five Ambience: four Service: three This is a fancy restaurant composed by several different parts. The decoration on the first floor is quite cozy and cabin feeling. The second floor was partly with DJ and loud music and another part that was more peaceful. We went to this part. The food was terrific with ace meat, very delicate vegetable and savory taste. We ordered the nails, terrine avec foie gras, magret de canard (duck breast) , joue de porc a l'asiatique. The appetizer is impressive. The foie gras was fresh and subtle. The snails were cooked with pesto and tasted stretchy. The duck breast, omg, the fat part was so well cooked as the first bite that it was melting in the mouth. The suspense of the food here is that it is a fusion with Asian food. Afterwards we had a brilliant desert with there layers of different tastes and texture. Overall, the food here is definitely the highest level. But the service was slow and the waiter is a little snobbish. He took a shot with some friends behind our desk during serving us. The dishes were also slow to serve. And we brought a good bottle of wine by agreeing paying some fee. But the fee was 50 euro which is too high. read more

I greatly appreciate the quick response a couple of months ago via email to make a reservation for dinner. The restaurant is beautiful. The food was very good. Escargot was excellent. The Asian noodles with chicken was ok. The sole was ok. The salad with pear was very good. Service was good though our waiter wasn't friendly, happy, nor welcoming. A Korean food critic said he didn't care if the service was terrible as long as the food was devine. Unfortunately the food wasn't devine to justify the cost and the unpleasantness. read more

This place is INCREDIBLE!!!! At first we were hesitant to go in because we were not sure about the lack of reviews, but let me tell you, it's a gem and a fantastic place!!! The food is incredible, the wine is to die for and the atmosphere is nice and cosy with great waiters. You must get the escargot!! Definitely the duck and the filet are a must and if you don't get the soufflé you have made a mistake!!! The soufflé is divine!! Absolutely incredible !! read more

Very disappointing experience. It is an expensive restaurant, but the food is mediocre at best. The burger was tasteless and served without any sauce on it, the stake was ok but tiny and the French fries tasted as if the frying fat had not been changed in ages. In addition I have not experienced such bad service in a long time: almost not accepting the choice of wine because it was not the most expensive bottle on the list, bringing bread to the table after the meal was over, being rude about not ordering desert (we wanted to get out of there and did not feel like trying another of their chef's lazy interpretations of a dish ...) and then begging for a tip. Amazing. read more

Fantastic food and beautiful ship-themed decor, but the service was subpar and so unbelievably slow, even by European standards. Getting our food was incredibly slow and aggravating. Then, it took us 30 minutes to get the check (no exaggeration) and this was after asking the waitress twice and some other waiter once. Once she finally brought the check over she dropped it like a hot potato and ran off before we could even give her the credit card. Then we waited another five minutes for the male waiter to come back and finish the transaction. Being on vacation means I've got some time to kill, but not so much time that I'm hanging in one restaurant for 3 hours for a relatively straightforward meal. read more

Went here during my tour of Chamonix-Mont Blanc and i loved it! The food was amazing, i had escargot, pasta, and gelato for dessert, plus a bottle of champagne and everything was lovely. Great service, and not as busy as other restaurants around town. If you're looking for a nice, special place to have an exclusive lunch/dinner in Chamonix this is the place! read more

If you're tired of fondues, raclettes, and other Savoyard specialties, and have already tried the gastronomic palazzos, this is a good place. Elegant maritime-style décor and interesting menu: In addition to traditional French dishes, they also have ceviche, a short selection of sushi, and Chinese-style noodles. The seafood is fresh and pretty good. read more

This is some serious fine dining in Chamonix. You can get fondue, raclette and tartiflett many places, but they do traditional all with a special touch. Careful when ordering in France, if you order fondue or la pierreade, the price printed is per person, you can't ask for one fondue to share among a crowd. That's just the culture of dining here. The menu is full of variety too. I will say the food was excellent. The terrine and frois gras was delicious, the tartiflette to get cozy with, and the pork breast was the finest i ever tasted. This is a great restaurant and they know it. expect to spend €. Minus a rushed attitude from the hostess when the dining room was nearly empty, it was a fine experience. read more

Great service and good food. Shared the escargot, ceviche and beef carpaccio for appetizers. For entrees we selected the king crab salad which was delicious and the fish of the day. For dessert had the soufflé (awesome presentation) & a porto. Overall a very pleasant experience. read more

Love everything about this place The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. We came here twice we liked it so much. 100% recommend without reservation. Also, they did this cute thing for birthdays where they play music and put a firecracker in a cake. Looked epic. read more

Worst dining experience of our week long trip - but most expensive by a long way. Would not go again - lots of other better options in the town. Lots of cons. - Had a 9.30pm reservation for 2 and ended up not getting main courses until 11pm. - - - All of the staff seemed very panicked and disorganized - restaurant was pretty busy but still multiple open tables so unclear why - When the food finally arrived, the salmon was very poorly cooked and almost inedible (the burger was good but absolutely not worth the 125 Euro check). - Sommelier seemed intent on selling us the most expensive bottle of wine possible, rather than talking about our actual preferences - We did have a reservation but getting seated was a nightmare - everyone showed up at once for the 9.30 seating so downstairs was packed We didn't even bother with dessert. Entire experience was very negative and not up to the "fine dining" standard the restaurant likes to promote. read more

We ate out every night for 5 nights and this was our last night and our favorite. It was such a nice place and the food was excellent. We had the sushi and escargot to start and then had the special which was tuna tataki which we seared on a hot plate at the table. This was a great lively place in the heart of Chamonix. read more

I absolutely loved my experience at the Cap Horn! The food and service were both amazing and the restaurant itself was beautiful! I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Ate their twice on two consecutive nights. Sure it's not eating on the cheap, but if you're willing to spend, I don't know, about 40 euros a person (not counting wine or cocktails) what you get is really quite outstanding in every way. Whether you're considering food quality, presentation, decor, ambiance, friendliness, helpfulness, menu variety, this is a "don't miss". Just on desserts alone this place would merit 5 stars but there is much, much more. read more
